Q: If the Gilbert Arenas' plea deal leads to the voiding of his contract by the Wizards, does that not present a major threat to the Heat for the 2010 free-agent frenzy, as it gives Washington space to sign a max free agent? — Stan.

A: Considering where the Wizards are right now, and considering what that franchise has gone through, I'm not sure there is much of a recruiting threat, unless a player is looking to become target practice. Plus, I still believe it is a longshot that Washington will be able to void that contract. In fact, such a test case could tie up the Wizards' potential cap space well beyond the start of 2010 free agency.

Q: Is there some organizational loyalty to Haslem that supersedes team success? Is there a dictate to continue trying Beasley at small forward in preparation for targets at power forward in 2010 free agency? — Aldo.

A: I understand where you're coming from. Michael not only is not a small forward, but the Heat has not been nearly as efficient when Michael has been cast in such a role. For now, it's a matter of trying to get sufficient minutes for Michael, Udonis Haslem and Jermaine O'Neal, all of whom stand among the team's best players. But going forward, there has to be a way to get Michael his full allotment of minutes in the power rotation. Haslem offered some key play down the stretch in Friday's victory in Houston.

Q: Ira, should we make a play for Bosh at the trading deadline? It seems like a bunch of teams are. We might lose a shot at him if we wait until this summer. — James.

A: But (and this is a huge "but"), I'm not sure the Heat has anything Toronto is looking for. I don't think the Raptors are willing to move on Michael Beasley. The Heat likely would have to get a third team involved to have a shot, and that's if Bryan Colangelo comes off his stance about Bosh not being moved this season. Toronto is playing well enough there to keep things intact, at least for now.

Q: How is it that the Lakers, Magic and Celtics can be stacked with All-Stars and multiple big-money contracts and experts are saying we only have enough money to sign one A-list free agent and a bunch of fill-ins? Is it that the other owners are willing to break the bank while ours isn't, or am I missing something? — Chris.

A: It's those teams biding time through rougher periods in order to build up assets, and then making their moves. Recall how mediocre the Lakers were in the immediate wake of the Shaq trade, ditto for the Magic losing Shaq, and the Celtics were down for years, collecting first-round picks, before they made their move. It's all cyclical, and the Heat still is caught in its post-2006 cycle, after it somewhat sold its soul for that title. Micky Arison has shown he is willing to spend when there is a sniff of a championship, as he did before 2006 and as he did during the late '90s.

Q: Do you think the rebuilding 76ers would be willing to part with Lou Williams and Speights for Beasley and Chalmers? — Vince.

A: No, and I'm not sure I would make such a deal. If the 76ers do, indeed, look to rebuild, it won't be by trading away two of their top young talents. A deal with Elton Brand would be more likely, and I'm not sure if anyone would touch that contract at this stage.

Spo’s f#ckin rotations are F#UCKIN RIDICULOUS!!! IT IS SO OBVIOUS TO PREDICT WHEN THE OTHER TEAM WILL GO ON A RUN!!! For example, with four minutes left in the third Spo makes his usual robotic substition of sitting Beasley and JO and subbing in Haslam and Anthony. Right thenI told my wife “Their about to go on a 10-0 run cuz we have this retarded lineup in (Alton, Wade, Wright. Haslam, Anthony).” Well they only went on a 6-0 run before we called time-out…but b/cuz Spo is a moron after the time-out he does not bring back either JO or Beasley and they then go on like an 8-2 run and we’re down by either 12 or 14 by the end of the first quarter.
It was SOOOOO F#CKIN obvious that this was going to be a game where we needed to have two of these three players (Wade, JO, Beasley) on the floor at all times. This is the sh#t that pisses people off about our dumba$$ coach. I’m not saying we would’ve won this game tonight b/cuz quite frankly we looked a little tired and given this long road trip. But that being said, retarded a$$ lineups, rotations, and substitutions should not be a contributing factor in losing (at least not on a nightly basis). This team has limited talent, we all know they are not championship contending team, but this team has enough talent to get to the second round of the playoffs. But the way Spo is coaching we’ll be lucky to win one game in the playoffs. We are not great, but our personel is better than our record. Too bad our moron coach doesn’t know how to use his personel.

==================
Why would they trade some of their best pieces for Haslem? They’ve been playing great ball as a whole. Better than us for sure. I would love Felton on our team. We desperately need another playmaker.

The same reason they havent given Felton an extension in the first place. Its very possible they could do it. I doubt it, but its possible. I doubt they keep Felton after this year. Trading ason Richardson and Okafor was stupid enough, its a never ending cycle with MJ. They havent been playing great all year, they have been up and down just like us.

“I didnt even know we had a game tonight. WTH happend?”
Durant was by far the best player on the floor for either team. He destroyed us.
Beasley pretty much dominated the first 3 quarters offensively and looked like an all-star (again). Quit in the fourth once the game was out of reach.
Spoelstra looked (and coached) like the guy from I Am Sam (again).
Wade played very well early but hit a cold spot in the third quarter and gave up after that once the game was out of reach.
JO played alright. Not great or anything, but he was a positive contributor, which is more than you can say for anyone other than Beasley and Wade.
Chalmers, Haslem, QRich, and Wright all sucked.
Thunder shot the lights out. They hit jumper after jumper after jumper.

This is if you are referring to haslem for felton. I just scrolled down and saw Wallace mentioned and tahts not happening in anyway. We could have had wallace the last 3 f*cking years, now hes probably untouchable.

The Okafor trade was stupid, but J-Rich & Crash weren’t working out as a good duo (like Crash & Captain Jack are now). Plus, they got Raja & Diaw, who, somehow, almost made them a playoff team last year.
If they still had Okafor, they’d have someone to throw it down to when the jumpers weren’t falling & would probably be better than us (if they aren’t already).

Chalmers, Haslem, QRich, and Wright all sucked.

Is it just me, or do teams seem to have one of those “everybodys hitting their shots” type of games against us more than any other team? I mean as bad as we are, a lot of times thats just how it is. The f*cking Jazz couldnt miss the other night if you paid them. I assume OKC did the same. I see Beasley had 28…I mean wtf? Should I ust stop asking questions or assume Beasley spent minutes gaurding Durant….again.

If Riley has an opportunity to pull off that trade, he must take it.
Posted by: cruicruise | January 16, 2010 at 11:01 PM
If that comes about for Felton he has to. Its a win win. He will be playing for a contract so either we like what we see, or we let him walk. Doesnt interfere with 2010 but makes this season a whole lot easier on the eyes.
btw….Damn you Baltimore. 20 F*cking bucks.

LMAO, you have to be pretty retarded to propose a deal for Devin Harris that includes Michael Beasley. Devin Harris is currently the second-best player on the worst team in NBA history. If they want to trade him and his sh*tty contract, they get an expiring in return. And they’d be lucky to get that.

Here are a few thoughts:
Is it possible that OKC came out fresher b/c they are younger? Though BOTH teams were on the 2nd game of a back-to-back, we’ve got a lot more creaking bones in our line-up than they do.
I don’t think our defense is good against a team that shoots well from the outside, and this team hit a lot of jumpers – Durrant was freakin 13-14 at one point.
Still, we had more points in the paint, more points off of turnovers, etc. So we weren’t crap. …
Now. I will confess that I groaned when I heard the announcer say Haslem and Joel Anthony in for Beasley and JO’Neal. UGHHHH.
0 pts and 3 Boards from QRich? Would it have been smarter – just a thought – to have started Dorell on Durant and use QRich off the bench for some offensive spark?
Perhaps a better move would have been to go “thuggish” against Durant, ala the Rick Mahorn Pistons? Come on Rothstein…!!!
We missed our shots .415…
This is just the team we have. Riley picked Spo as coach, and we are stuck with it now.

haslem/wright+whatever is needed.
devin harris
=================
They could definitely use UD alongside Lopez. I think he’s a nice fit. Harris worth more than that though. I guess we’d have to give up a 1st pick too.

WOW Baltimore. I mean seriously….y even play? Poor Ray Lewis. Ray has been in the league forever and never once played with an offense as near good as the defense he leads. He has to be sick of this sh*t.

Who the hell was that on here earlier taking up for Spo saying Spo has the team “right where we should be”? I’d like to know if getting swept in the season seriese by the OKC Thunder is “right where we should be”

They’re a terrible matchup for the Heat as I said before the game and a few others agreed with me. They’re too long and athletic. Westbrook as I predicted was able to get into the lane at will and dish out assist after assist. No one could guard Durant, especially with limited minutes for Wright and he had a monster game. Thunder have the perfect players to throw at Wade, which cooled him off just enough in the 3rd for the Thunder to jump out ahead with Beasley being moved to the 3 and missing some shots too.

I think Ira is secretly huddling with Spo to get the talking points to sprinkle through his post-game blog. What purity or identity or other crap can he feed us? I really am sick of the spoisms we have to hear – the latest was that this was a “defining moment” game. Oh, cut the crap bad-hair-cut boy
the only defining moments are when you put in those sickening line-ups like you always do.

you mean like in the first half, when he pulled jermaine o neal, with like 1 minute to go, inserted joel anthony, who not only gave up a basket on the defensive end, but had an easy layup from wade and he was charged iwth offensive goal tending, as he bricked the point blank dunk?
Anthony is about as useful as an air conditioner salesman at the North pole.

Here’s a nice description of a defining moment:
“Wade attracted a double team as he drove toward the basket, then dished to a wide-open Joel Anthony under the basket. The 6-foot-9 center went up and botched a dunk as he hung on the rim, getting called for basket interference in the process.” (AP)

Nope. He chickened out.

One question how does Arroyo go from the STARTER before the trip to not plating one minute on the trip? No excuse or reason why Chalmers is still playing ahead of him. The offense is stagnant when ever Chalmers gets in. He’s like AI that doesn’t shoot, he just dribbles and dribbles until Wade rolls off a curl or Haslem ’s man decides to leave him open. Chalmers is what he is as Slledge would say “MEDIOCRE” same as his coach.
About the game, why is it that when ever Beasley has a great game Wade and the rest of the team has a bad night, it’s almost like they suck on purpose….lol I’ll give the team a pass because they were on the plane to Miami before the tip-off.
As for Spo I’m so tired of even talking about the POOR EXCUSE OF A COACH. I seriously will be pissed if he’s still coaching this team next season, honestly I just may pick a new team until the dude gets CANNED!!!!!!!! I love Wade and Beasley, but they need a real coach who knows how to maximize their strength’s until then they’ll be stuck with the with the slick hair and the devilish grin. Once again I called every sub coming in during dead balls just by looking at the game clock. I coach my son’s league squad better than he does.

What would you guys vote as the best playoff series of the decade?
To me, it’s between Lakers-Blazers, 76ers-Raptors (AI & Vince were trading 50 point games…), & Warriors-Mavericks.

Easily.
Or Kings vs Lakers and Donaghy in 2002.

IRA WINDERMAN is embarking on his 24th season covering the Miami Heat for the Sun-Sentinel, witnessing more than 1,900 of the team's games (thus the bags under the eyes and hair loss not truly depicted by the accompanying photo). With the help of antacids (during the lean years) and a sense of humor (during the Riley dictatorship), he has been able to remain a courtside fixture at AmericanAirlines Arena, a veteran 12 years older than coach Erik Spoelstra. Only former trainer Ron Culp had attended more Heat games, but, then again, Winderman has yet to tape his first ankle.
